“You’re still required to repent of your wrongdoings.”

So if you did nothing wrong you have to go do something wrong so that you have a just reason to plead guilty and be forgiven for it? Because it would be a lie and dishonest to beg for forgiveness for a sin you never committed in the first place right? Commit a sin to be forgiven for sin? Would this not be hypocrisy?

I had this discussion with my brother who said he's not a sinner. His wife, listening in to the conversation, said, "Not a sinner? Like when you lied to me about when you got drunk at the office party and made out with your co-worker (a female)."

When anyone thinks they are sinless, you have to wonder if they are being "self-accountable."

That makes no sense. If you’ve never done anything wrong and you’re perfect in every way, then you don’t need grace. Few can claim that. And if you just don’t want to admit you need any help, good luck with that.
